Number of boys in the hostel = 100
Number of days for the food provision = 40 days

Now, the new number of boys for the food provision = 100 + 60 = 160

Let x be the number of days the new food provision lasts

Number of boys | 100 | 160
Number of days | 40 | x

It is a case of inverse variation

→ 100 × 40 = 160 × x
→ x = 100 × 40 / 160
By cancellation, we have x as 25

Therefore, the food provision will now last for 25 days
